Andy Reid addresses Asante Samuel comments

Eagles coach Andy Reid issued a statement through the Eagles on Asante Samuel’s critical comments about the club’s front office:

“I am aware of how Asante felt and we have since talked. We both left with a positive feeling going forward. As I have said previously, when we acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Nnamdi Asomugha, we had received numerous calls on the availability of out cornerbacks. After discussing significant trade offers with other teams, we decided to keep all three cornerbacks on our team. Asante is a valuable member of our team and we appreciate all that he brings to this organization.”

“As far as my relationship with Howie and Joe, I have a great deal of respect for both of them and I know we are all on the same page.”
